About

Professional summary

I am a senior cybersecurity professional with 6+ years of experience building and scaling enterprise security programs across insurance, banking, manufacturing, and transportation sectors.

My background is centered on SOC architecture, cloud security, SIEM/SOAR automation, threat detection, and incident response in high-volume environments. I enjoy turning complex security operations into scalable, repeatable processes that improve visibility and response speed.

I have hands-on experience with offensive security concepts, system internals, and attacker tradecraft, which helps me build stronger detection engineering and threat hunting capabilities. I also work comfortably across cloud and DevSecOps environments, including AWS, Azure, IAM, Terraform, and CI/CD security.

In recent roles, I have supported enterprise clients in consulting and managed security services capacities, often handling multiple concurrent engagements. I have led SOC buildouts, automation initiatives, vulnerability management improvements, and executive-level reporting for security leadership.

I am especially interested in AI-assisted automation and multi-agent workflows that improve operational efficiency and security response. I like combining context engineering, adaptive memory, and orchestration to solve real-world security problems at scale.

I hold several industry certifications, including CISSP, OSCP+, AWS Security Specialty, Azure Security Engineer Associate, CySA+, Security+, and Terraform Associate. I am looking for opportunities where I can continue leading security engineering, detection, and cloud security initiatives.
